CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A 22-year old dancer was seriously injured when she fell from the second floor balcony at Christie’s Cabaret Wednesday morning, city police said.

Two men ran out of the bar after the woman fell, according to police reports.

A witness told police that he was getting a lap dance from the woman when she grabbed a pole, tried to perform a dance move or jump then fell over the rail head first.

The woman was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, where she is listed in critical condition.

Police are investigating.

hope she's OK and everything, but when I read that headline my first thought was 'damn, how high was that guy's lap?'

We never get stripper news here

Marvo301 · 01-03-2013, 02:56 PM

I hope she recovers but I can't think of anything more embarassing to have listed as a cause of death than "lapdancing"!!

How sad. She's so young. Head first. So often those injuries cause brain damage. I hope she pulls through 100%.

Last I heard on our local 7 p.m. news, she is still critical, and the family requests prayers and privacy.

CLEVELAND — A woman was seriously injured after a bizarre incident inside a local strip club early Wednesday morning.

It happened at Christie’s Cabaret in The Flats, just after 1 a.m.

According to police, 22-year-old Lauren Block, of Richmond Heights, was reportedly on the second floor of the club when she went over the balcony and landed on her head.

Police said they were first told the woman had been thrown over the balcony, but once they arrived, they realized it was an accident.

According to a report from Cleveland police, a witness said he was getting a lap dance from Block on the second floor of the club when something went terribly wrong.

The reporting officer said this of the incident: “(The witness) stated that (the dancer) grabbed the rail, as he was facing away from the balcony, and she tried to complete some sort of jump/dance move, and accidentally went head first over the rail.”

Block reportedly fell 15 feet and suffered “major head trauma.”

She was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, where she is listed in critical condition.

Police said there is no further investigation on their side, because it appears to have been a horrible accident.

However, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating.

Block recently worked at the Tilted Kilt in downtown Cleveland.

“She was always in a good mood every time I saw her,” Ashley Roach worked with Block and said, she too, once worked at Christie’s.

She’s baffled as to how her friend could have fallen over the railing.

“It’s mind boggling, honestly. You hear about girls falling off the pole because they didn’t grab hard enough. Like, those are just common things. But not over a railing,” Roach said.

“I hope for the best. I hope she pulls through and I hope everything is ok,” she said.

Based on what information?

Vahan · 01-04-2013, 12:31 AM

Just an opinion. Plus, she's still in critical condition.

Still hope she recovers, though.

OH Nuts! · 01-04-2013, 08:00 AM

The poor thing; I hope she pulls through and makes a full recovery. What a horrible freak accident.

I've always wondered why guys go to strip clubs and these are the same guys who will diss guys who get with prostitutes. At least prostitutes give guys sex for money because strippers won't have sex with guys. It's sad that so many guys are addicted to strippers but i can't judge them because i used to deal with prostitutes. I think guys that go to strip clubs can't get girlfriends but guys that get with prostitutes can't get girlfriends either. It sucks being single because i love women but i'm done chasing after them because i'm sick of their attitudes. I hope this stripper gets better and she needs to find a better job because if she isn't careful, she'll make stripping a career. It's sad that some women that are strippers won't get a real job because they're only thinking of the money they're making and they don't think they can make a lot of money at a real job. Strippers need to watch The Players Club movie with LisaRaye, rapper Ice Cube, Bernie Mac, Jamie Foxx and learn a lesson from LisaRaye's character who was only stripping to pay for her college classes. Her female cousin worked at the strip club with her but she ended up getting beat up real bad by a black guy who she was gonna strip for at his birthday party and she quit after that because i guess almost dying made her wake up and get a real job.

This is TOTALLY off the subject but I MUST respond to what you wrote. Speaking as a man who has had 3 long-term monogamous relationships with 3 very different women and also a man that frequents strip clubs and prostitutes, the reason men prefer the two latter is that women want a LOT of your time and attention. Sometimes you feel like a nut - and ONLY a nut. Sometimes you DON'T want to talk about your feelings or how your day was. Sometimes you just want it right there and right now - without the slightest hint or effort of romance or communication. I hope this explanation was helpful to everyone who always wondered why men love strip clubs and prostitutes.

isiahthomas · 01-06-2013, 12:33 PM

You're exactly right and i'm glad you aren't afraid to say you deal with prostitutes because a lot of guys diss guys who deal with prostitutes. I'm not afraid to say i've dealt with prostitutes but i stopped because i got tired of wasting money because i'd rather be in a relationship. I don't have to have sex often and i know most guys want sex often and that's why some guys go to strip clubs and deal with prostitutes. You even have some guys who deal with escort service women like actor Charlie Sheen LOL. I've never watched pornos and bought porno magazines and most guys are into that. I hope i can be in a relationship one day and if that doesn't happen, i'm not gonna deal with prostitutes and i'm not gonna go to strip clubs because i don't like wasting money. I know when you're in a relationship, you have to spend money on women but i'd rather do that than get with prostitutes and go to strip clubs.

I can relate. I used to be big on strip clubs / dungeons when I was younger. I just liked to chill there and unwind, I liked the attention. Even though I payed for some of it, I didn't care.

I wasn't big on strippers, I was more into BDSM (dominatrix). It was hard to find women (lovers) who would be into the same kinks as I. I don't really date anyone outside of "the scene" for this reason. I had many awkward conversations with potential partners about my bedroom habits. This was way before 50 Shades of Grey became all the rage and now everyone wants it.

I can't really be with a lover who isn't into what I'm into. Yes there's more to romances than sex, but to me that's a big part of a relationship and if we can't negotiate the terms then I'm not sticking around with you. So early on I just wanted someone "to play with" as opposed to a relationship so I can get my kink fixes.

Eventually, I became close friends with some Doms and then we played around for no money. We both enjoyed each others company and trusted one another.

I then briefly worked as a security guard for one popular dominatrix. I escorted her to various clubs, parties, and events keeping the creeps away, lol. I also briefly worked as a male performer when I was approached to do it at a club.

So yeah, some guys just want "no strings attached" sexual encounters, and that's fine. To me as long as you're open about it with your partner (if you have one),do everything consensual and stay smart I say "live life".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, I wish this poor woman nothing but the best and a quick recovery.
